I found this recipe for chocolate Dulce de Leche bars in an old magazine and it looked interesting to me. However, I made changes to this recipe because I did not have enough condensed milk at home. What I did have in my baking pantry was 2 cans of Nestle Dulce De Leche. So, my daughter and I decided to use it instead of the condensed milk. The result was absolutely amazing. I had a tray full of bars that were delicious and hard to keep away from.

Ingredients for the Graham Cracker Crust

• 18 graham crackers (about 3 cups crushed)
• 4 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter

How to make Graham Cracker Crust

• Line a baking pan (13 x 9 x 2 inches) with nonstick foil. Overhang the short ends slightly.
• In a mixing bowl stir in graham cracker crumbs, sugar, salt, and butter properly.

• Transfer the crumb mixture into the baking pan. Press crumb mixture evenly over the entire bottom of the pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Bake the crust at 350 degrees for 17 minutes until lightly brown. Remove to a rack and cool completely.

Ingredients for the Filling and Topping of Chocolate Dulce De Leche Bars

• 2 cans of Dulce De Leche
• 1 cup (8 oz) of milk chocolate
• 1 tsp butter
• holiday sprinkles (optional)

Instructions for Filling and Topping for Chocolate Bars

• Pour the Dulce De Leche over the crust and spread it evenly.
• Bake it for 8 minutes at 350 degrees or until the topping starts to bubble.
• Remove to a rack. Refrigerator for 2 hours until cool

• Microwave chocolate and butter for a minute or until melted, stirring halfway.
• Spread evenly over the filling and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes or until set.

• Use the foil to lift the bar from the pan to a cutting board.
• Cut it into 16 bars. Add some holiday sprinkles on top (optional)

Where can I find Ready Made Dulce De Leche

You can find canned Dulce De Leche in Walmart, Amazon and other Supermarkets and Farmer’s markets

These Dulce De Leche Bars are perfect for any occasion. I sprinkled holiday sprinkles because I usually make it during Christmas time, but you can add any kind of sprinkles to spruce up your chocolate bars. The quantity of these bars is the right amount for events too. If you are having a party or get-together or if you even want to sell for a PTA fundraising event, these chocolate dulce de leche bars are perfect treats.
